The new infotainment system looks to be a great improvement over recent Toyota efforts.
I'm interested in knowing how its inbuilt mapping service works. It's described as cloud navigation, Ergo, unless I'm very much mistaken, it has to connect to the internet somehow.
How does it do physically this? Details are a little sketchy. If I were to hazard a guess I'd say the vehicle probably uses a dedicated cellular modem. On a few websites, I've seen the dreaded word "subscription". Will you need to hand over hard cash to make this work? The dealership salesman was pretty clueless and had no idea at all.
Personally, I'm planning on using wireless CarPlay for my navigation needs.
